Naples

Pompeii today! And Canada Day! We dressed to celebrate the occasion, in our red clothes.

Oh yeah, we’re a good looking people. We got to the shore (technically, we stopped in Naples, so that’s why Naples and not Pompeii), and boarded a bus to Pompeii. It was a great place, really cool. I’ll just post a couple of pics.

This second picture is an actual person, found like this. That was so sobering to me – actually seeing a person! Wow. We explored a bit more here, and then went to Vesuvius, the volcano. Mostly it’s just scenery shots up there.

It’s a pretty place, I enjoyed the view. Also, it’s not very close to Pompeii at all, so to think about how far the stuff from this volcano had to go to take out that whole city…man. This whole place was really awesome to take in. On the drive home down the mountain, our bus died. Of course it did! Naturally, as the driver is there, trying to get it started, the 4 of us are praying with all our might, praying we don’t miss the boat, or have any other issues. Finally, after the longest 10 minutes of my life, the bus started! Yahoo! We made it down the mountain and back to the ship with no problems. Hallelujah. Onto our next place!
